In case you didn't know, this is an election year...

To engage our students in the historical, political, educational, and emotional experiences of participating in an election - We will hold a "Mock Election" November 4. To prepare, inform and involve our lower school students, the upper school "representatives" of BOTH the Democratic and Republican parties will speak with our class. We are focusing on gathering FACTUAL INFORMATION, speaking our opinions WITH RESPECT FOR OTHERS, and DEBATING ISSUES POLITELY.

I am so very proud of our class. We have already had the Democratic "Representatives" visit and speak with our class. Our class was polite, respectful, asked good questions, and discussed their points of view with tact and style.
